Turia Pitt is expecting her first child with partner Michael Hoskin, and the inspiring athlete, motivational speaker and author recently shared how she’s feeling about his – yep, it’s a boy – arrival in a few weeks time.

The 30-year-old, who suffered burns to 65 per cent of her body when surrounded by bushfire during an ultra-marathon in 2011, spoke to News.com.auabout her pre-birth prep.

“I’m really excited about giving birth," she said. "I’ve had a lot of pain through my experiences, and it’s pain which doesn’t have a meaning for it.

“But the day of the birth, yes it will be hard and intense but at the end of the day I’ll get a baby from the pain — and how cool is that.”
